Lava A97 - User Reviews

  • Threw the phone into trash. It is slower than the slowest thing ever.

  • Lava a97 is a very bad phone. It hangs when you play games of 353mb. Pubg does not support. It does not give any update. Processor is very bad. While doing any work the screen goes out. Many of the time volte gets disappear. Sometimes jio networks does not come. Cameras front and back both are same quality. Camera is always becomes blur. That's why I should say no one should buy any phone from lava specially this phone mention above. Customer service is also bad.

  • Yes, lava is a real bad phone. The phone hangs & screen disappears or minimizes automatically. very slow in processing

  • lava phones is very bad phone. its cheating for all mobiles costomer , its compair for low cost chainees phone.

  • Worst phone ever.. dnt buy. It gets hang. Disappear contacts. Facebook, whats app, messenger, IMo, apps dont respond. Alwys changes display color.

  • It is very bad phone, and very slow working

  • Yes I am playing gta vice city in my lava a97 1gb ram and just u need to disable some apps like lava app etc and not suitable for playing games above 600 or 550 mb it hangs.And Volte will disappear after some time.But not suitable for daily usage.It hangs.

  • Poor cellphone very hang device noeveryone people buy it

  • Very annoying phone. Hanging, poor camera, bad looks, rubbish phone overall

  • Worst phone ever... Reasons :- 1) Rubbish items eat up almost 60% of internal memory. 2) Facebook doesn't respond properly. 3) Facebook Messenger doesn't respond properly. 4) Whatsapp messenger doesn't respond properly. 5) Recent call logs as well as contacts disappears. 6) The alarm doesn't perform when it is removed from the background. 7) Temperature rises up very quick. 8) A maximum of only 3 apps are installed for its bloody 1GB RAM. 9) Battery exhausts very quickly. 10) The VoLTE disappears after some time. So , I request you to please improve the LAVA A97 and also other models of LAVA because no other chinese or international phones like Vivo , Oppo , Redmi etc. shows up problems like this. Also, I am selling the phone day after tomorrow only for ₹ 3,000 , which shows that others also know what LAVA is worth of. Freakin worst phone ever. I am going for Redmi and I'd also suggest to my family as well as friends never to use LAVA.... Thank-you.

  • why do people say about disappearing contacts ...i used to play heavy games all the time ...but i have never experience such a thing ...like disappearing contacts ..the thing is ....you guys should use a keypad phone instead of using touch ones

  • Worst phone in india..automatically change display colours.hide contacts..poor camera.do not work night mode..i miss more events in night time..i feel shame for buy this mobile.

  • Just three months back bought a97 and it starts giving bunch of problems . First and for most issue is contact list and calls log automatically gets disappeared for long time specially when I need to call , second thing is phone is coming with useless application installed which consumed 75 % internal memory of phone ..

  • Bought this phone a few days back. Initial review is given :- Battery : - Not upto the expectations of 2350Mah. Lasts a few hours of regular usage. Also take much time for recharging. Camera :- Front 5 Mega pixel is good enough for cellphies. Good clarity also. Back 5 MP is VERY BAD. Having whitish mark on the image. In low lights totally bad even after using flash. Screen : - If you tilt a bit then you cant see the screen clearly. You can watch just like old type negative images. Back button has also to be hard press for functioning. Some time got restarted automatically. Sometime hang itself. Sound is also not enough. Anyway in this price an average phone for playing games of low resolutions. However, latest android version is a plus point. Regards, joginder
